About

While attending Connecticut College, Chip was approached by his good buddy and founder of BleacherReport, Zander Freund, and told to get on board immediately. Since that fateful day in Zander's cheeto encrusted dorm room, Chip has been an avid fan, follower, employee, and now alumni of BleacherReport.

The turmoil surrounding the 1977 Yankees earned them the nickname of “The Bronx Zoo.” The current 2009 Yankees have an interesting blend of leaders and pranksters, so I decided to create a LITERAL “zoo.”

Check out what animal each Yankee would be reincarnated as in a next life.

It appears as though Nick Swisher’s Yankees honeymoon is coming to a close, and is being replaced with married life. Smiles are quickly transitioning into expressions of concern. Read about how bad it has gotten for Swish in the Bronx.

Melky Cabrera hit a walk-off home run last night for the Yankees, but the score and the win paled in comparison to Brett Gardner’s remarkable story. Read how he brought a smile and hope to a sick little girl in NYC.

Ryan Zimmerman’s hit streak halted at 30 games last night. As one streak ends, another is admired. Read about how Joe DiMaggio forever redefined ’56,’ and how his feat may never be broken. It is a record that thankfully cannot be broken through steroid use, and represents all that was once right in a game that has since gone so wrong.

In the wake of countless college graduations around the country, it is once again time for the Yankees to go through the GPA gauntlet. See if you agree with the Yankees strengths, weaknesses, and individual grading. I would love to hear your comments and feedback.

I had an awful day today, so I took it out on MLB. Here's my first humor piece on "the worst case scenarios for all 30 teams." If you get the chance, I'd love for you to check it out and let me know what you think.
